Re: [Biofuel] satellite dish collectors

tracking is easy, even on 2 axes, but i was curious to know if it would be effective for an exchange heater. i have a dish, but was worried it wouldnt be of any use to me.   Jason ICQ#:  154998177 MSN:  [EMAIL PROTECTED] (most likely to get me) ----- Original Message ----- From: Zeke Yewdall To: biofuel@sustainablelists.org Sent: Monday, June 26, 2006 10:34 AM Subject: Re: [Biofuel] satellite dish collectors Yeah, I'd go for a larger one -- more energy collection.  I think the larger ones are also tracking?  wherease the current generation satellit dishes are fixed.

Pretty small -- 300 watts of insolation at best. Figure a typical small stove burner  puts out 1000 watts at least.
